Esses objetivos foram testados utilizando dois estudos experimentais. O primeiro estudo comparou as causas da fadiga em protocolos de fadiga de curta (=10 min) e longa duração (=20 min), manipulando as durações da pausa entre countermovement jumps. Os resultados indicaram que, após a realização do protocolo de fadiga de curta duração, houve redução da contração isométrica voluntária máxima para extensão do joelho acompanhada por fadiga central e periférica. Por outro lado, após a realização do protocolo de fadiga de longa duração, a redução da contração isométrica voluntária máxima para extensão do joelho foi associada apenas à fadiga periférica. No segundo estudo foi utilizado um protocolo de fadiga para o sistema neuromuscular similar ao primeiro estudo, tendo como objetivo investigar o padrão de movimento sob fadiga. O tempo e a seqüência da relação inter-segmental do movimento e da ativação muscular permaneceram inalteradas sob a condição de fadiga. Entretanto, alguns ajustes no controle de countermovement jumps realizados sob a condição de fadiga foram observados, provavelmente na tentativa de manter a altura do salto vertical. Entre alguns ajustes, é possível destacar um aumento na flexão das articulações e na duração do salto vertical. Esses resultados foram similares independentemente da razão de esforço e pausa utilizada para induzir fadiga em countermovement jumps. Considerando ambos os estudos experimentais, os resultados da presente tese sugerem que a causa da fadiga em countermovement jumps é tarefa-dependente. Isso significa que dependendo do protocolo de indução de fadiga utilizado, a causa da fadiga pode ser alterada de central para periférica, por exemplo... / This thesis explored the cause of fatigue in countermovement jump performed under different intensities and its influence upon movement pattern. These aims were tested using two experimental studies. The first one aimed to compare the causes of fatigue development during a short- (=10 min) and a long-term (=20 min) countermovement jump protocols through the manipulation of resting interval. The results indicated that after short-term fatigue protocol, maximal voluntary isometric contraction reduction was accompanied by central and peripheral fatigue. On the other hand, after long-term fatigue protocol, maximal voluntary isometric contraction reduction was accompanied by peripheral fatigue. The second study used similar exercise protocol to induce fatigue on neuromuscular system. It was aimed to investigate the movement pattern of countermovement jump throughout fatigue exercise protocols. The timing and sequencing of inter-segmental movement and of muscle activation remained relatively unaltered under fatigue. However, in order to sustain required jump height, few adjustments were performed on control and on coordination of fatigued jumps, such as increased joint flexion and earlier initiation of joint extension. This result was quite similar irrespective of fatigue-induced exercise intensities. Considering both experimental studies, the results of present thesis suggest that the cause of fatigue in countermovement jump is task-dependent in which depends on what fatigue protocol is used, thereby the cause of fatigue can move from one site to another. Even with the neuromuscular system impaired, there was not change on the movement pattern of countermovement jump, irrespective of exercise duration and cause of fatigue. However, adjustments on control and coordination of countermovement jump were performed in order to compensate the force loss and to maintain the targeted jump height.

Consequently, advances in assessment and training methods have emerged. However, the paralympic sport keeps in tow these advances, with few specific studies that consider disability as intervening factor. The transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technique that has proven to be capable of modulating brain function. Studies show beneficial effects of tDCS on muscle strength, power and fatigue during exercise. Objective: Investigate de the effect of tDCS on movement control in para-powerlifters. Methods: Eight subjects underwent two sessions of motion capture, which previously applied the anodic tDCS or sham sessions in the cerebellum. Three movements were performed with increasing load between 90-95% of 1MR. The movements were recorded by an 10 infrared cameras system which reconstructed the 3D trajectory of markers placed on the bar. Results: There have been changes between the anodic and sham conditions over bar level (initial, final, maximum during the eccentric and concentric phase) and in the difference between the final and initial bar level. Moreover, there was difference in bar level (final and during the eccentric phase) comparing athletes amputees and les autres. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that tDCS applied prior to the exercise over the cerebellum in para-powerlifters acts differently according to disability / Introdu??o: O esporte praticado por pessoas com defici?ncia vem crescendo nos ?ltimos anos. Consequentemente, avan?os nos m?todos de avalia??o e treinamento t?m surgido. Por?m, o esporte paral?mpico segue a reboque destes avan?os, com poucos estudos espec?ficos que considerem a defici?ncia como fator interveniente. A estimula??o transcraniana por corrente cont?nua (ETCC) ? uma t?cnica que vem se mostrando capaz de modular a fun??o cerebral. Estudos mostram efeitos ben?ficos da ETCC sobre a for?a muscular, fadiga e pot?ncia durante exerc?cio. Objetivo: Investigar o efeito da ETCC sobre o controle do movimento em para-halterofilistas. Metodologia: Oito sujeitos foram submetidos a duas sess?es de captura de movimentos, sendo aplicado previamente as sess?es ETCC an?dica ou sham no cerebelo. Foram realizados tr?s movimentos com carga crescente entre 90-95% de 1RM. Os movimentos foram gravados por um sistema com 10 c?meras infravermelho e tiveram reconstru?da a trajet?ria 3D de marcadores colocados na barra. Resultados: Houveram mudan?as entre as condi??es an?dica e sham sobre os desn?veis inicial, final, m?ximos durante a fase exc?ntrica e conc?ntrica e sobre a diferen?a entre o desn?vel inicial e final. Al?m disto, houve diferen?a no desn?vel final e durante a fase exc?ntrica ao comparar os atletas amputados e les autres. Conclus?o: Os achados do presente estudo sugerem que a ETCC aplicada previamente ao exerc?cio sobre o cerebelo em para-halterofilistas atua de forma diferenciada de acordo com a defici?ncia
